PAPER-HOLDING DEVICE FOR BARBERS CHAIRS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 4, 1913.

Application filed August 5, 1912. Serial No. 713,416.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK \Vrrrn, a cit-i zen of the United States,residing at Govington, in the county of Kenton and State of Kentucky,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper-HoldingDevices for Barbers Chairs; and I do hereby declare the following to bea full, clear,

improvements in attachments to barber chairs for holding shaving paperand comprises a simple and efiicient device of this nature havingvarious details of construction and combinations and arrangements ofparts which will be hereinafter fully described, shown in theaccompanying drawings and then specifically defined in the ap-. pendedclaims.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whichFigure 1 is a perspective View showing the application of my inventionto the arm of a barber chair. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the outerface of a receptacle, and Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line 8-3 of Fig.2.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, Adesignates a receptacle adapted to hold a series of shaving papers, andprojecting from the bottom of said receptacle is a bracket arm B throughwhich bolts C pass and also through a clamping bar D. Winged nuts F aremounted upon the threaded bolts and serve as means for holding theclamping and bracket members frictionally against the arm of a barberschair.

Fixed to the upper edge of the receptacle are the plates F which areapertured for the reception of the rock shaft H having a handle H at oneend. A bail-shaped member N is fixed at its ends to said shaft andcarries a concaved paper holding rack O which is mounted upon a setscrew Q working through a threaded aperture in the bail-shaped member, asuitable spring Q, being mounted upon the threaded shank portion of thebolt and bearing intermediate the bail and a milled nut S upon thescrew. Said screw also has jam nuts S and S thereon between which theholder is mounted and a lining T, preferably of rubher, is mounted uponsaid holder. The threaded portion of the set screw projects through theholder and lining and is pointed and over which a piece of paper isadapted to be caught and held thereby.

Fixed to the inner face of the receptacle are the rubber buffer wheels1, portions of which project beyond the opposite ends of the receptacleand are in the path of the arms of the bail-shaped member and serve asmeans for supporting said member in a substantially horizontal position,as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. Fastened to the rear of thereceptacleare the spiral springs R, each of which has a buffer B thereonand against which the arms of the bailshaped member contact as thelatter is thrown back out of the way and to the position shown in dottedlines in Fig. 1.

In order to slacken the lateral swinging movement of the bail-shapedmember a coiled spring P is fastened at one end to one of the platesupon the receptacle and its other end to the shaft so that, as the shaftis swung back out of use, the coiled spring will be put under tensionslightly, thus deadening the jar somewhat incident to the bail fallingdown to the position shown in dotted lines.

By the provision of a device embodying the features of my invention, itwill be noted that a mechanism is afforded whereby the shaving papersmay be held in a convenient location for the barbers use and in such amanner that they will not conveniently blow away, said papers being heldin the concaved holder and by the end of the shank portion of the setscrew. WVhen the device is not in use, the bail-shaped member may beswung back as shown.

What I claim to be new is 1. An attachment for barbers chair for holdingpaper, comprising a receptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of thechair, a bail-shaped member pivotally mounted upon the receptacle, and apaper holder upon said bail, as set forth.

2. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper, comprising areceptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, abail-shaped member pivotally mounted upon the receptacle, a holder uponsaid bail, and a set screw passing through said holder and projectingbeyond the face thereof and over which the paper is held, as set forth.

3. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper, comprising areceptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, abail-shaped member pivotally mounted upon the receptacle, a holder uponthe bail, and means for holding the bail in a horizontal position whenin use, as set forth.

4. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper comprising areceptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, a bailshaped member pivotally mounted upon the receptacle, a holder upon the bail,and buffer members fastened to the receptacle and against the edges ofwhich the bail-shaped member are adapted to contact to hold the same ina horizontal position when in use, as set forth.

5. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper, comprising areceptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, abail-shaped member pivotally mounted upon the receptacle, means forholding the bail in a horizontal position when in use, yielding buffermembers fastened to the receptacle and against which the arms of thebail-shaped member contact as the latter is swung down to an inoperativeposition, as set forth.

6. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper, comprising areceptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, abail-shaped member pivotally mounted upon the receptacle, means forholding the bail in a horizontal position when in use, coiled springsfastened to one face of the receptacle, and a buffer fastened to eachend of the spring and each in the path of one of the arms of thebailshaped member, as set forth.

7. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper, comprising areceptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, a rock shaftjournaled in projecting portions of the receptacle, a bail-shaped memberhaving arms fastened to said shaft, a coiled spring fastened at one endto the shaft and the other to one of said projections, means forsupporting the bail-shaped member in a horizontal position when in use,and a paper holder upon said bailshaped member, as set forth.

8. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper, comprising areceptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, a rock shaftjournaled in projecting portions of the receptacle, a bail-shaped memberhaving arms fastened to said shaft, a handle fixed to one end of saidshaft, buffer wheels upon the face of the receptacle and against thecircumference of which buffers the bail-shaped member is adapted tocontact to hold the latter in a horizontal position, and a paper holderupon the bailshaped member, as set forth.

9. An attachment for barbers chair for holding paper, comprising areceptacle adapted for attachment to the arms of the chair, abail-shaped member pivotally mounted upon the receptacle, means forholding the bail-shaped member in a horizontal position, a set screwpassing through an opening in the swinging end of the bail, a concavedplate mounted upon said set screw, a milled nut upon said screw, aspring upon the shank portion of the screw interposed between thebail-shaped member and nut, jam nuts upon the screw holding said platein place, the shank portion of the screw being pointed and projectingthrough the paper holding plate, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence oftwo witnesses.
